Print & Additional Information

For the best user experience The UPS Store Online Printing recommends the minimum version of the following Internet browsers: Microsoft IE (9.0.8112.16421), Firefox 26.0, Chrome 32.0.1700.102 and Safari 7.0.1.

Submissions uploaded to The UPS Store Online Printing site should be a minimum of 300 DPI (dots per inch) at 1:1 ratio (or 100%). Submissions that do not meet this standard may experience print errors or produce images that are fuzzy, pixilated or otherwise distorted. Submissions should be designed in industry-standard CMYK and uploaded with no embedded color profile. (You may upload in RGB or some other standard if you choose, however, the color will be converted and we are not responsible for any inaccuracy or color shift that occurs as a result of the conversion). Spot colors are not supported and should be converted to CMYK. We reserve the right to reject submissions that do not meet these requirements. We are not responsible for uploaded content that do not meet these standards and result in printing errors.

The initials RGB stand for the colors red, green and blue. Combined together they are capable of creating a wide array of colors. Consumers utilize computer monitors and digital cameras for creating graphic designs. These devices display in RGB and they output in RGB unless the file is converted to CMYK.

CMYK stands for the four inks used in the production of color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key, which is black. Most printing companies utilize this standard for printing and is common practice for these companies to convert graphic designs from RBG to CYMK prior to print production.

B. For Business Cards, Envelopes, Flyers, Indoor Magnets, Letterhead, Postcards, the following file types are supported for creating, customizing and personalizing pre-designed print templates or a blank canvas in the online designer:

The maximum file size that can be uploaded is 150MB. This file size and upload times may be impacted by your internet connection. If your file is larger than 150MB, please engage a The UPS Store Online Printing Customer Experience Representative for assistance.

There are several factors that impact the length and time it will take to upload a file. The upload times can range from a few seconds to a few minutes. The most common factors impacting file upload time are the actual file size, complexity of the file(s) and the speed of the internet connection.

The UPS Store Online Printing site’s designer allows you to select the designated action (such as adding text, images, logos, backgrounds or other design elements). The designer will guide you through the process of adding components to your project.

PDF (.pdf) files are the accepted file format for uploading print-ready artwork. Print-ready files are commonly referred to as files that are ready to print and require no further adjustments prior to being printed.

The lines you see around the preflight image represent the safe zone (green- all text and images within these lines will safely be printed, cut line (dotted lines- shows where the card will be cut) and bleed line (red line-to allow the design to extend to the edge of the document). The dotted lines show where the cutting will take place and any of the text or images outside this dotted line will not be on the final printed product.

Because of differences in monitor calibration, some printed colors may not exactly match the colors on your specific monitor. The UPS Store Online Print solution makes efforts to convert RGB to CYMK, but the conversion process may not be an exact match.
